Chapter 129: Two Relationships
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Oh god, of course not,” Michael shouted. “We did have a relationship before, but we’ve already separated. She did come here occasionally after that, but not to me. She still had some business with Samuel and the others. But I was also very busy. So I didn’t pay attention to when she came over, but I can guarantee that I didn’t have sex with her after that.”
I turned around to look at Michael. I didn’t know if I should believe him, but jealousy was burning my rationality. The thought of her and Michael having an intimate affair made me uncomfortable.
“My dear little wolf.” Michael reached out to touch my chin and said somewhat dejectedly, “If you want me to apologize to you for my previous affair, I can do it.
“But I’ve lived for so long. I’m not a saint. I have feelings too. But if you blame me for other reasons, it’s because you’re unreasonable. I’ve never been in two relationships at the same time. I was already single for a long time when I met you.”
“I’m sorry, I have said too much.”
I turned my head away and broke free from Michael’s hold.
I knew Michael had a point. He lived a hundred years longer than I did. He must have dated other women with angelic faces and devilish bodies besides Joanna. The way he flirted with me spoke volumes.
But it wasn’t fair to me. We’d never spoken about our past relationships, but Michael knew everything about me. I was a blank slate.
And this was the first real relationship I’d ever had, except for my first mate.
“Do you want some more?” Michael asked.
I looked at the table, lost my appetite, and shook my head at Michael.
Michael sighed beside me, pulled out my chair, and turned me around to face him.
I looked at him quietly.
......
Michael leaned me against his chest, put his arm around me, and said, “I’m sorry that you’re uncomfortable with Joanna being a part of my past, Cecily. The royal Lycans have a long life and a lot of experience. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. So all we can do is seize the moment. That’s what I’ve been doing for years.”
Michael’s gaze seemed very sincere at this moment. I was attracted by the light within and wanted to hear him continue.
“A mate is a gift from the Moon Goddess. It has given me a definite answer for my present and future.”
Michael touched my hair and said gently, “I can say with certainty now, Cecily, that you are the final answer for my present and future.
“What I have experienced in you is an emotion I have never experienced before. It has convinced me that there is a special bond between us, a bond that nothing can break. You are mine, from the moment I saw you until the last moment of my life. It is enough for you to remember that.”
Michael’s words moved me.
My heart broke free from that jealousy and became calm and firm.
This was also the magic of a mate, the only person in the world who could easily touch your emotions.
These words might not have touched me as much yesterday, but as soon as I was about to become a royal Lycan, I understood our mate relationship more deeply. I understood the meaning of Michael’s words about ties and bonds. This was something that could not be broken, and I did not need to worry about anyone.
I needed to adapt to this body transformation and, at the same time, control my emotions. I could not lose control as easily as before, which would easily hurt the people around me.
“Your ex-girlfriend is very beautiful,” I said somewhat unwillingly.
“Indeed, this is also what I liked about her back then.” Michael smiled.
I glared at Michael, grabbed his arm, and tried to bite him.
Michael offered his arm and looked at me with a smile. I was too embarrassed to bite him, so I snorted and turned my head away.
Michael raised my chin and said, “But my mate is the prettiest.”
My face slowly turned red. It was against the rules for Michael to use such sexy words on purpose.
The second half of the dinner was harmonious, but Michael kept looking at me with that kind of happy smile, which made it very difficult for me to keep my mind off Michael.
After all the dishes had been removed, we quietly stayed in the study for a while.
He did his thing, and I did mine.
I couldn’t recall the last time I enjoyed such a quiet and warm time. Occasionally, Michael would caress my hair while he was walking around, and I would bring Michael a glass of water when I came in and out of the room.
